AGARTALA, March 10 (TIWN): Recalling murders of police officials in Tripura by smugglers, former Chief Minister Manik Sarkar while addressing in Udaipur today, has said that smuggling is on a massive rise and BJP has its deep involvement in that.

"Today no project is done by proper tendering and for all tenderings 7% to 10% commissions are enjoyed. Massive corruptions are going on. In border areas smuggling activities are in rise, Such activities are functioned by BJP leaders either of the Mandal level or State level", said Manik Sarkar. 

It can be recalled that a police official was crushed under smugglers vehicles in Sonamura area and allegation raised that it was done by BJP leader's brother Biswajit Bhowmik or his smuggling business linked workers. Biswajit Bhowmik's massive smuggling empire was alleged by BJP former Yuva Morcha Sonamura President Sundar Ali himself. 

Also, recently drug-peddling commission business was alleged undera Minister. 

BJP workers are often coming into Police's net in such smuggling works. However, actions are very few whereas the drug network has gripped the state.
